Chapter 1:
I basked in the moonlight in the courtyard until late into the night, and Lu Huai'an finally came back.
Before entering, he paused at the doorway for a moment, presumably psyching himself up.
However, when he pushed the door open and saw me sitting cross-legged on the ground in the courtyard, he still startled.
"What...what are you doing?" I looked up at him and said, "Charging.
You destroyed the outer circuit of the core, so I need at least a day to fully repair." Clearly, Lu Huai'an didn't understand.
He just coldly snorted and walked over to lift me up from the ground.
"Stop with these tricks! You are the Crown Princess that I purchased from Qin Zheng with five thousand gold tickets.
Tonight is supposed to be our bridal chamber, and resistance is futile!" I had no intention of resisting.
Before I married, Qin Zheng had already told me that the so-called caveman was what he and his friends did to me day after day.
At that time, I stood in front of him and asked, "Will it hurt as much as that?" Qin Zheng looked at me in surprise and tapped his hand with a folding fan.
"Even if you can regenerate a severed arm, you can still feel pain?" Nonsense.
Even if I'm not human, this body has a real pain system implanted in it.
He lifted his hand and caressed my face, with a hint of regret: "If I had known, I should have made you suffer more, until you shed a few tears.
Wouldn't that make you more like her?" The "her" mentioned by Qin Zheng was the moonlight in the hearts of all the young noble sons in the capital, the unparalleled talented woman, Yu Shuhuai.
Unfortunately, I bear a resemblance to her.
My husband, Lu Huai'an, the Crown Prince of Nanyuan, is a notorious playboy in the capital.
While he hasn't reached the level of killing and setting fires, he indulges in eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling, without any scholarly pursuits.
He is also a suitor of Yu Shuhuai, so through a gambling bet, he bought me from Qin Zheng with five thousand gold tickets.
Lu Huai'an lifted me off the ground and walked into the inner chamber.
The dragon and phoenix joy candles on the table were already half burned, and the marriage toast hadn't been drunk.
He didn't mind and threw me onto the bed, letting the curtain down and quickly took off his outer clothes before covering me.
I lowered my eyes, prepared to endure the pain that had been repeated countless times before, but for a while, I didn't feel any movement from him.
"Lu Huai'an?" I tentatively asked, "Don't you know how?" "Shut up! You should call me husband!" He lowered his head, viciously biting my lips, "This young master has experienced many battles.
Who told you that I didn't know? It's just been a while, so I'm a bit rusty." I gave a half-hearted response, "Oh, so you really don't know.
This is not something that can be solved with your hands." "It's okay, I will." ...
By the time everything settled down, the sky was already bright.
Lu Huai'an was lying beside me, breathing heavily.
Suddenly, he sat up and asked, "Zhao Qingluo, as a mere woman from a noble family, Why are you so proficient in this field?"
"Qin Zheng personally taught me," I replied.
He turned his head sharply to look at me, and seeing my calm expression, he paused and said, "Do you think I am useless compared to him?"
"Not at all," I said.
"You are much better than him.
You wouldn't hit me or break my arm."
I don't know if it was just my imagination, but Lu Huai'an seemed to freeze in place.
After a long while, he finally spoke with a slightly hoarse voice, his eyes filled with regret and coldness.
"He would break your arm..."
Sensing his sudden low mood, I had to say something to comfort him, "It's okay, every time it can be healed when brought back.
As long as it didn't hurt the core, it could be repaired in almost a tea's worth of work.
It just hurt at the time.
But compared to the mission I carry, a little pain is nothing significant."
